IT’S BEEN A fun month sifting through the impressive entries to our Journal Journeys partnership with Iarnród Éireann/Irish Rail and now the results are in.
There were 100 free group trips available – bringing up to 50 people per group – as part of the project to facilitate and reward the work of the voluntary sector all around the country.
Sporting clubs, community groups, charities, voluntary services – all were invited to tell us how a free rail trip would benefit their members and achieve their aims.
We have previously announced four weekly winners – but today we can reveal the FULL 100 groups travelling in the coming 12 months on Journal Journeys with Irish Rail.
Irish Rail CEO David Franks said: “We have been overwhelmed this year by the level of interest in Journal Journeys with Iarnród Éireann from voluntary organisations right across the country; we hope the winners will enjoy their trip. It’s our way of saying thank you for all the great work you do in your community.”
Susan Daly, Editor of TheJournal.ie, said Journal Media Ltd was delighted to be part of the effort and “looks forward to meeting some of the winners, travelling with them and learning more about the groups who are enriching local life all over the country, day in, day out, often without recognition”.
